The Role & Team:


The Business Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists.

Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling.

They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions, and by the end of six months, they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers.

This role requires you to work for 40 hours a week.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Pitching, researching and writing stories with a focus on US and international news
  • Spotting and covering news events as they unfold as well as driving major stories forward
  • Produce stories that are accurate, properly researched, errorfree, and in line with Insider reporting standards
  • Covering all aspects of the war in Ukraine including any live updates
  • Working on covering occasional business and celebrity news when warranted
  • Writing stories on breakingnews events like natural disasters or plane crashes
  • There is also scope for pursuing longer features and investigations
  • An intense interest in general news with a focus on US and international news
  • A journalism background and some experience of news reporting online
  • An ability to write quickly and accurately
  • A selfstarter attitude and excellent organisational skills
  • A love of Insider and what we do
  • A desire to work as part of a global team in a fastpaced environment
  • Knowledge of social media and SEO

All our editorial fellows should have:

  • A passion for digital storytelling, voracious reading habits, and familiarity with digital and social media
  • Experience reporting and writing (school publications are great)
  • Ability to work quickly and collaboratively with a fastpaced team
  • Solid proofreading/copy editing skills and light HTML/Photoshop experience

Salary

  • Fellows are paid £24,000 prorata
  • Fellows get 10 days annual leave during the 6month period
  • This position starts in summer 2024 and requires that you work fulltime for six months.

Business Insider is a flexible workplace when it comes to remote work, but an important part of the fellowship is being a part of the newsroom in person for learning opportunities. Fellows are asked to come into our offices in London at least two days a week.
